Swakopmund municipality’s Acting CEO inside LHU Swartz arrested for drunken driving innoStaff Reporter

The Swakopmund municipality's Acting Chief Executive Officer, Marco Swartz, was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence of an intoxicating liquor on Wednesday evening. He made a first court appearance in the Swakopmund magistrates court yesterday morning.

Details about what exactly led to the arrest remain sketchy at this time, as various senior officials were not available for comment.

According to an anonymous source Swartz was arrested on his way back home from the Rossmund Golf Club at around 21:00.

The Swakopmund municipal traffic department, the Namibian Police and the Swakopmund Neighborhood Watch con-

ducted a joint traffic operation on Wednesday night.

Sources revealed the police set-up a roadblock on the B2 highway east of Swakopmund. Various drivers approaching Swakopmund turned off just before the roadblock onto the bypass road leading east of DRC – this allegedly included Swartz. Little did these drivers know there was a second road-block on this bypass road.

According to sources Swartz was stopped by a

junior traffic officer.

Due to the high-profile case a senior traffic official, Appolus Motinga, was called to the scene. Motinga could not be reached for comment yesterday.

Swartz was requested to undergo a breathalyzer test.

It was understood by namib times his reading was 0.8 milligrams per 1000 milliliters of breath.

The legal limit is 0.37 milligrams per 1000 milliliters.

Manganese in water- vates NOT toxic The Municipality of Walvis Bay released a public notice on Wednesday in regard to the recent discolouration of water in Walvis Bay. According to the notice, the discolouration and possible low water pressure in some areas is as a result of restoration done to a break in NamWater's supply pipe on Wednesday and caused the water to have higher levels of manganese.

Manganese is a mineral that naturally occurs in rocks and soil and may also be present due to under-ground pollution sources.

Manganese is fre-

Thieves target Miss Namibia

Locker vom Hocker

Piquet Jacobs

What was supposed to be a special day-trip for Suné January, Miss Namibia 2017, visiting the coast turned sour for her on Monday when she fell victim to a smash-and-grab incident.

January travelled to Walvis Bay along with her grandmother, younger sister and cousins on Monday for the day.

Whilst in the harbour town, they also drove through to Dune 7. Upon their return to Swakopmund, they stopped

north of Langstrand on the dirt road that leads in the direction of Patrysberg. They were travelling in her official vehicle, which is branded "Miss Namibia".

They walked to the water. Upon their return they discovered to their

shock the vehicle's driver's window was smashed. It was clearly a smashand-grab incident which now has become a frequent occurance between Walvis Bay and Swakopmund.

The culprits managed to get away with Januarys' grandmother's handbag and wallet. January drove to the police station at Aphrodite Beach, but to their further dismay the station was closed. This forced them to rush through to Walvis Bay with splinters of glass all over the interior of her car, and this with three children.

After reporting the matter to the police, January received a phone call to inform her that the stolen bag had been found with all the contents including documents and medication, except the cash of course.

A child was allegedly found in possession of the handbag in Kuisebmond, stating that their mother requested for it to be thrown next to the main road.

The increase of similar incidents in and around the coastal towns, that with the general rise in criminal activities, has residents worried especially ahead of the festive season. The frequency of crime, commonly directed at tourists and other visitors, puts the coastal towns in a bad light and evidently has a negative effect on the tourism industry.

The new soup kitchen was made possible and built by the German national, Mr Georg Quandt, of the Deutscher Namibischer Hilfsfonds 'Quandt e.V." But it was the vision of Anja Rohwer, a well-known personality running the non-profit organisation, "Helping Hands."

According to Quandt, the organisation has been in existence for 25 years.

Founding Father Dr Sam Nujoma has been part of the organisation for 22 years.

During the inauguration, Quandt said his team has travelled more than a 100 000 kilometres and bought about 50 tons of material and equipment to construct a hospital and five school buildings in Namibia so far. "Hanganeni is part of this project. During this time about twelve million Euros have been spend on these projects", he explained.

He revealed his team will return to Namibia soon, and the help he is offering has not ended. Quandt also confirmed in the next few weeks, Hanganeni Primary School will be the beneficiary of another project: a playground.

During the inauguration ceremony on Tuesday the children expressed gratitude for the new soup kitchen, saying that the school feeding program is very important as most learners do not receive lunch boxes from home and the "okatete" they receive at school is their only meal for the day. "Okatete" is a thin porridge.

The Namibian School Feeding Program was launched in the early 90's in response to the educational and nutritional needs of about 45 000 vulnerable children from drought affected communities during the time.

"Today, the number of school feeding beneficiaries have tripled. So much so the ministry alone is not able to run this program without the involvement of private enterprises and individuals. We urge the communities to make efforts towards acquiring sufficient non-food items and to erect necessary shelters at schools", said Mrs Monica !Gawises during the ceremony. She is the Principal of the Walvis Bay circuit under the Erongo Education Directorate.

Swakopmund one step closer to regulate the use of shopping bags Erwin Leuschner

The Swakopmund Town Council has paved the way to develop a bylaw to regulate the use of plastic shopping bags. Also, to charge a levy for the use of plastic shopping bags and for the funds to be channeled to a unique environmental fund. The fund was also approved.

According to the agenda, the recently approved environmental fund is in lieu of developing a related by-law to legislate the use of plastic bags.

All funds deposited into the environmental fund will be applied for the funding of various environmental projects. "This will be beneficial to council and the Swakopmund community at large," it states in the agenda.

The development of a specific by-law regulating the usage of plastic bags is spearheaded by a newly founded environmental committee, consisting of representatives from the Ministry of Environment and Tourism, the NACOMA project, the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources, the Otto

Herrigel Trust and the Municipality of Swakopmund. The representatives of the municipality include the environmental officer as well as the General Manager: Health Services.

The committee will manage projects benefiting from the fund.

The idea of charging a nominal fee for a plastic bag has been on the cards since 2009. The idea initially failed after certain stakeholders were not responding positively to the idea. The Swakopmund municipality halted the process, waiting for the City of Windhoek to develop a by-law all local authorities could use countrywide. Unfortunately, this has not yet transpired.

The by-law will oblige supermarkets and businesses to charge customers a fee for plastic bags, in the hope of eliminating the illiterate use of plastic bags and to curb pollution.

Innovation helps LHU thrive in economic downtime

LHU's Metallurgical Superintendent Tyrone Kotze while speaking at the International Uranium Conference

FNB confirms card fraud “affected very limited number” Erwin Leuschner of customers

Langer Heinrich uranium (LHU) is home to what is believed to be the world's first nano-filtration membrane plant in the uranium industry, to recover used sodium bicarbonate from a uranium concentrated eluate stream. This innovation means the mine uses less sodium bicarbonate, by reusing.

This was revealed by LHU's Metallurgical Superin- required chemicals used during uranium processing. tendent Tyrone Kotze, when recently he addressed an Undertaken during a period of steadily declining uraaudience at the International Uranium Conference. nium prices, and capital scarcity, the BRP demonThe Conference was hosted by the Southern African strates the notion that with calculated risks comes Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM), in greater rewards. collaboration with the Canadian Institute of Mining, The BRP has contributed to LHU's direct saving on Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), the Namibian Ura- sodium bicarbonate costs which fell from US$13 per nium Institute (NUI) and the Namibia University of pound to just over US$6 per pound, and at the same time reduced its process operating significantly.

According to Kotze, the Bicarbonate Recovery Plant Namibia is currently ranked the fifth-largest producer (BRP) reduces the use of new bicarbonate, by recyc- of uranium in the world, and is set to become the ling the reagent back into the process. It makes the pro- world's second-largest producer once Swakop Uranium's Husab Mine is fully operational. This will uncess much more cost effective.

FNB Namibia confirmed this week that a “very limited number of our retail customers have experienced card fraud on their accounts in the last few days.” This response comes in the wake of a client, who's account was emptied within seconds after allegedly being hacked. namib times reported on the incident in Tuesday's edition and it created huge public outcry.

“While FNB Namibia's own local security processes have not been compromised, these identified customers are being assisted and refunded where appropriate”, said Elzita Beukes, Group Communications Manager at FNB Namibia Holdings. She did not say how many customers were affected nor how the card fraud took place.

She added that “our customers remain our highest priority; should anyone have any concerns regarding their card accounts, please contact our helpline (061) 299 2222 for advice or after hours if necessary to put a stop to your card immediately at (061) 299 2999.”

The fraud mentioned above took place in Swakopmund recently. After the customer swiped his card to buy at a local supermarket, he started receiving one SMS after the other of transactions taking place on his account. The transactions were apparently made in France. The SMS's did not cease until his account was scooped empty.

“The bank has in the meantime said that they will refund the money that was stolen”, he said to namib times. He added that the bank did not elaborate on how the fraud took place, or what he should do to in future to prevent such an incident.

“I was only told that my account is safe. I really hope it is”, the customer concluded. The question he has is simple: if it happened once, what guarantees are in place this will not repeat itself again?

“...BRP successfully commissioned in March and operating above design. The extent of this project's success has far-reaching implications for the Langer Heinrich operation now and into the future. BRP is expected to exceed design benefit by up to 100% and establish a new paradigm in carbonate uranium processing.

Accidents at the coast Piquet Jacobs

A sedan vehicle veered off the road and overturned on the B2 route, just 15 km from Karibib toward Okahandja on Tuesday afternoon.

The vehicle with four occupants had a tire blowout. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported. One of the occupants' injuries was described as less serious, whilst the remaining occupants sustained minor injuries.

Two unrelated incidents occurred on the C35 route, on Sunday and Monday respectively. On Sunday afternoon, a vehicle left the road and overturned on a bend after the driver apparently lost control. The accident reportedly occurred 30km from Uis towards Henties Bay. All three occupants of the vehicle required medical assistance, though their injuries were described as less serious and minor.

Approximately 55km from Henties Bay toward Uis, a double cab pick-up truck veered off the road and overturned, after the driver lost control. The three occupants, in-clu-ding the driver, sustained serious injuries whilst another three sustained minor injuries. The injured occupants were transported to Swakopmund initially, but due to the nature of their injuries, two were subsequently transported to Windhoek.

Truck spills charcoal in Swakopmund A truck hauling charcoal to Walvis Bay lost a part of its load on Tuesday evening in Swakopmund.

A stretch of Moses Garoëb Road was covered in fragments of charcoal, as the driver did not initially notice that a sling bag holding the charcoal in break bulk ripped. Some passers-by were quick on scene with plastic bags, as it is not every day the opportunity to collect charcoal comes by.

The Swakopmund traffic department was also called to the scene and monitored the clean-up of the road. By Wednesday morning there were no more traces of charcoal on the road, thanks to a very efficient clean-up.

A SPIRITUAL SOLUTION TO THE ECONOMIC PROBLEM *Among the results of the manifestation of spiritual forces will be that the human world will adapt itself to a new social form, the justice of God will become manifest throughout human affairs and human equality will be universally established. The poor will receive a great bestowal and the rich attain eternal happiness. For although at the present time the rich enjoy the greatest luxury and comfort, they are nevertheless deprived of eternal happiness; for eternal happiness is contingent upon giving and the poor are everywhere in the state of abject need. Through the manifestation of God's great equity the poor of the world will be rewarded and assisted fully and there will be a readjustment in the economic conditions of mankind so that in the future there will not be the abnormally rich nor the abject poor. The rich will enjoy the privilege of this new economic condition as well as the poor, for owing to certain provision and restriction they will not be able to accumulate so much as to be burdened by its management, while the poor will be relieved from the stress of want and misery.

A UNIVERSAL AUXILIARY LANGUAGE *Bahá'u'lláh has proclaimed the adoption of a universal language. A language shall be agreed upon by which unity will be established in the world. Each person will require training in two languages, his native tongue and the universal auxiliary form of speech. This will facilitate intercommunication and dispel the misunderstandings which the barriers of language have occasioned in the world.

Serial rapist lurking in Walvis Bay

“My bank account emptied in seconds” A Swakopmund resident claims to have lost his entire salary from his FNB Gold Account last week, after his account was hacked and "emptied within seconds". The forensic department of the bank is still investigating how the culprits, who allegedly withdrew the money in France, managed to gain access to the secure information.According to the resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, the theft took place as he was doing shopping in a supermarket in the coastal town on Wednesday evening – shortly after his salary was deposited into his account. "I purchased groceries and swiped my card. After swiping I immediately started receiving SMS's from the bank", he explained to namib times.

Man murdered after insulting two men Two men have been arrested and charged with the murder of a 31-year-old man in Kuisebmond on Sunday. The man was murdered in what was described as a "brutal attack".The incident, which allegedly took place at around 11:30 on Sunday morning in Tutaleni, was allegedly in reaction to the murder victim, Aaron Ruhozu, insulting the two suspects.An argument ensued which then took a turn for the worst when the suspects attacked Ruhozu with sticks.The attack turned more violent as the suspects began to stomp and kick Ruhozu. The suspects continued the cold-blooded beating, which lead to Ruhozo's death.

Obi Nderura Very shameful and heartbreak Kumbulani Terence Sai Bring back death penalty

Walvis Bay residents are appalled at the news of a series of rape cases being investigated which involves five minor girls allegedly sexually assaulted by a resident of the town in a flat in the period June 2016 to June 2017. The outrage is amplified by the limited information available of the alleged suspect, who is known only by a first name "Mr Alex”. This unspeakable revelation was made by the parents of one of the minor girls, after they seemingly grew suspicious of the girls' unaccounted whereabouts during some days over the time period in question. They investigated and made this appalling discovery. When the truth came to light, the distressed parents immediately reported the matter to the police and laid charges on Friday. It is alleged the suspect, only known to the girls as 'Mr Alex', would pick them up in Kuisebmond on several occasions and take them to an apartment where he would then have sex with them and perform various sexual acts with them.

Issy-Dee Armstrong Ndaifanua Why the Minors who being involved in unusual activities with him : don't jus come up to the police with their parents as the reported the rape #case ... ( to simply go direct the #flatwhere all these happening , his race/ complexion identity etc. Then police investigation will be easier, From there. #Why so it's difficult to spot out the Evidence: Like As it's a Sensitive issue,,? as Namibian Authorities used to say !!!

Levzo Shinajene If this so-called Alex freak use to take this girls always at the same flat in town which is identifiable by the girls,then it's a easy link for the police to trace this freak. Based on leads of bookings and also if any CCTV is present on that particular flat.

Hiskia Johannes No rape in this case, unless somebody explain to me in real language !

Those ladies are big women and all acts that happens they knew what they were doing.

According to eyewitnesses a pick-up collided with the trailer resulting in the trailer to overturn.

According to the West Coast Safety Initiative two people received medical treatment at the scene and were transported to the Walvis Bay State Hospital by the St Gabriel Community Ambulance Service for further medical care.

Allan Roodt Near the "old police roadblock"? So in other words it was used just for a limited period of time and they got lazy and stopped using it? For what reason are police not manning the roadblock anymore? Luckily for us the B2 road is extremely safe and there are never accidents or drunk drivers on that road (sarcasm). Great to see how serious they are and the effort put in to keep the roads safe.

Without you we can do nothing but together we can make a difference!!!

The aim of the Foundation group is to help Senior citizens, baby dumping, feeding scheme, stationery, cosmetics, and school uniforms for students, single and struggling parents, job creation, matric farewell and the homeless people.

FNB Namibia has launched a campaign in which employees as well as the general public are advised of the culture of zero tolerance for misconduct upheld at FNB Namibia in all aspects of business.

“Today, more than ever it seems as if corruption, fraud, theft, negligence or misconduct is rife worldwide and if not nipped in the bud, could lead to countries and economies losing millions of dollars which

could have been spent on much needed educational or health initiatives,” says Edla Kaumbi, Ethics and Integrity Manager at FNB Namibia.

FNB Namibia conducted an internal survey and from the culture risk assessment it became clear that people are afraid to speak up.

“We, however, encourage everyone to speak up against misconduct. There is ZERO tolerance for misconduct and it is our collective responsibility to get rid of it because we want to be a great Namibian business creating a better world. Whistleblowing is international best practice and we should ensure that no one gets away with unethical, unprofessional or fraudulent behaviour.

Everybody needs to understand that not reporting something means supporting it and this way we perpetuate bad conduct by doing nothing about it.”

Edla concluded by saying that a values driven, high performance culture at FNB Namibia upholds all four strategic P's of the bank, namely profit, planet, people and partnerships.

Please report any misconduct or unethical behaviour on our ethics line: 0800 00 33 12 from your landline or 081 918 47 from your mobile or visit: https://firstrandethicsoffice.com For more information, please contact Elzita Beukes, Communications Manager at FNB Holdings on telephone: (+264 61) 299 2125, elzita.beukes@fnbnamibia.

Namib High grade 12 class of 2017 Bennie se Rooi Lorrie weer tuis receives invites to Prom Erwin Leuschner

‘n Soektog van omtrent sewe jaar na 'n naambordjie van een van die bekendste hengelplekke langs die kus, het onlangs op 'n onverwagse wyse geëindig.

Die unieke bordjie van Bennie se Rooi Lorrie is in Gansbaai in die Overbergdistrik van die Wes Kaap opgespoor.

Danksy Namibieseen Suid Afrikaanse hengelaars wat saamgespan het, is die bordjie, wat teen 'n muur in die Baardskeerdersbos by 'n plek met die naam Marietjie's Pub & Grill gehang het, weer terug op eie bodem.

“Dit is deel van Namibiese erfenis. Dis deel van my familie se erfenis,” sê Sharon Kruger.

Kruger is Barend Pretorius se dogter, meer bekend as die legendariese Bennie. Hy is die man wat die naambordjie in 1966 langs die strand opgehang het.

Maar die bordjie is net een van 'n reeks handgeverfde bordjies wat oor die jare by die bekende hengelplek

suid van Hentiesbaai gehang het. “Daar is blykbaar nog van die handgeverfde bordjies in Suid Afrika, wat ons ook nou probeer opspoor,” verduidelik Kruger.

Die debat oor die bordjie het in Augustus begin toe 'n foto van die bord op die Facebook-groep Hentiesbaai Gesels geplaas is.

Dit het ook vir 'n groot bohaai gesorg.

Isabelle van der Schyff van Pretoria het dit

Sharon Kruger, Bennie Pretorius se dogter, is bly dat die naambordjie Bennie se Rooi Lorrie weer tuis in Namibië is. Foto: Erwin Leuschner

haar opdrag gemaak om die bordjie weer terug Namibië-toe te bring.

Sy het die eienaar van die Pub & Grill, 'n ene Marietjie Uys, gekontak. Uys was verbaas oor die debat rondom die bordjie. En dit boonop oor twee lande se grense heen.

Uys beweer 'n vriend van haar op Hentiesbaai, Iggie Maritz, het die bord vir haar omtrent drie jaar gelede gegee, nadat die nuwe amptelike borde vir al die hengelplekke opgehang is.

Vo l g e n s U y s h e t Maritz, wat self baie visvang, die handgeverfde bord aan die nuwe bord vasgeplak.

Toe hy op 'n dag weer daar verbygaan, lê die bordjie eenkant in die sand. Hy het toe die bord aan Uys gegee, aangesien sy allerhande interessante oudhede in Marietjie's Pub & Grill vertoon.

Hy het gevoel dit sal daar beter waardeer word, en nostalgie oor Namibië en Henties-

baai opwek.

Die bordjie is drie weke gelede deur Johan le Roux, 'n oudNamibiër wat in die Strand woon, gaan haal en aan Kruger in Swakopmund besorg.

“Dit was 'n baie emosionele dag,” sê sy. Toe namib times haar die week besoek het, het sy die bord nog in haar besit gehad.

Oor die toekoms van die bord is Kruger nog nie heeltemal seker nie. “Ons oorweeg nou verskeie opsies. Dalk raam ons die bordjie.

Dalk weer by die strand op te sit. Dié keer agter 'n glas of iets,” dink sy hardop.

Dié spesifieke Bennie se Rooi Lorrie bordjie het Kruger se stiefma, Heidi Meier, geteken, en in 2000 daar opgesit. Dis die jaar waarin Bennie Pretorius oorlede is.

Die geskiedenis van die Bennie se Rooi Lorrie dateer terug na die jaar 1966. Deesdae is daar baie weergawes van die storie oor wat presies gebeur het,

maar net één storie is die regte een. Wat min mense weet is dat die lorrie nie rooi was nie, maar geel en blou.

Volgens 'n beëdigde verklaring van wyle Bennie het hy en sy gesin en 'n ene Attie Louw en dié se gesin op 'n dag in 1966 saam gaan hengel. Die groep van nege het 'n paar mooi steenbras en galjoene uitgetrek.

Bennie het 'n rooi mikrobussie gery.

Attie se seuntjie het twee weeke vantevore verjaar en 'n klein speelgoedlorrie present gekry. Die lorrie het R4 gekos. Vir daardie jare 'n peperduur geskenk. Toe hulle die aand terug op Walvisbaai kom, was die vragmotortjie skoonveld.

Alles was daar. Dit was net Attie se seuntjie se geel en blou lorrietjie wat nêrens te sien was nie, skryf Bennie. Toe die seuntjie 'n lawaai oor die vermiste lorrie opskop, besluit Bennie om die speelding te gaan soek. Attie het

saamgery.

Terug by die hengelplek, en daar staan die lorrietjie netjies langs 'n duintjie waar die seuntjie dit gelos het.

Toe Attie dit optel sê hy: “van nou af is hierdie plek Bennie se Rooi Lorrie”. Sy verduideliking was dat Bennie se kombi rooi is, dat sy naam Bennie is, en dit gaan oor die seuntjie se geliefde speelding, sy lorrie.

Bennie het daarna mettertyd self geverfde borde met die naam Bennie se Rooi Lorrie daar opgehang en onderhou. Eers was hulle van hout gemaak, maar het nie lank onder die omgewingstoestande gehou nie.

Later het Bennie die bekende rooi lorrie op metaal geverf.

Bennie Pretorius is in 2000 by Bennie se Rooi Lorrie oorlede.

Hy het daar langs die viswaters gehengel en gesterf op sy geliefde plek. Op gepaste wyse is sy aslike oorskot ook daar gestrooi.

Music as the Kaleidoscope of Life When thinking about a Kaleidoscope, it is easy to remember looking through those telescope-like tubes consisting of mirrors and coloured glass, turning it to see a different colourful pattern created by each twist.

It provides hours of entertainment and a kind of satisfaction to see the colours appear and disappear into an array of patterns resembling a church window.

This is exactly the message that Kaleido-

skoop, a young and upcoming band from Stellenbosch, South Africa wants to deliver through their music.

Kaleidoskoop's aim is to bring a message of hope by looking at life in a new and fresh way and to portray this message

through the kaleidoscope of their music. With their various instruments and complimenting voices, they capture their audiences to see that life is not as mundane as it may seem, but that it rather bursts into colourful patterns with every twist and turn.

The band consists of two permanent members, Jouba Jordaan and Anique Jordaan, collaborating with various other artists to produce a unique sound that imitates a kaleidoscope that brings a new pattern to every new song and lyric that they produce. They have already reached great heights with their music,

with receiving a Tempo Award for the Best Contemporary Album for their previous album, Vars Uitgekerf, and also being named Best Newcomer and Best Contemporary Album at the Ghoema Awards.

Kaleidoskoop will be part of the entire Walvisfees.

Their first appearance will be Friday night, 6 October. At 19:00, Jo Nickol, one of the local artists, will be performing, and at 20:00, Kaleidoskoop will take the stage. On Saturday, they will spend the day at the festival, entertaining us from time to time, enjoying the Walvis Bay community and celebrating life. On Sunday, they will join us at the thanksgiving service, which will be held at the Jan Wilken

Stadium in the Walvisfees tent at 09:00. They will also play a part in the service.

Let us take Kaleidoskoop's message of hope and embrace life by looking through the kaleidoscope of their music.

vom Hocker Sind Sie eventuell handysüchtig? Locker Rosenköpfchen: pure Liebe!

Smartphones können Suchtpotenzial entfalten. Im Hirn des Nutzers spielen sich dann ähnliche Dinge ab wie bei Glücksspielern. Ab wann aber ist man wirklich abhängig?

Es gibt bestimmte Risikofaktoren.

Chatten, surfen, spielen, shoppen oder den Partner fürs Leben suchen: Mit dem Smartphone ist so einiges möglich.

Das kann allerdings zum Problem werden: Wer nicht aufpasst, wird zum Sklaven seiner Nutzungsgewohnheiten.

Denn so, wie Glücksspielautomaten oder Games manche Menschen abhängig machen, kann auch die Smartphone-Nutzung überhand nehmen.

Was dabei passiert, erklärt der Informatiker Alexander Markowetz, der an der Universität Bonn zum Thema digitaler Burn-out geforscht hat: „Ich führe eine Handlung aus, und dann gibt es eine Überraschung.“ Die Handlung ist der Knopfdruck zum Aktivieren des Dis-

plays, die Überraschungen können vielfältig sein: Hat sich schon jemand mein Partyfoto angesehen?

Gibt es Neuigkeiten?

Das Warten auf die nächste Nachricht von Freunden, auf einen neuen Like bei Facebook oder das nächste Level beim OnlineGame bestimmen dann den Rhythmus.

Der Körper schüttet dabei das Glückshormon Dopamin aus. Es sorgt dafür, dass wir immer wieder zum Display greifen. „Das ist maximale Belohnung mit minimalem Aufwand“, erklärt Michael Knothe, Pressesprecher beim Fachverband Medienabhängigkeit, den Me-

Worte der Woche

Nicht schmollen Das Glück ist uns nicht immer hold.

Man sollte das mit Fassung tragen.

Wer damit hadert oder schmollt, dem liegt es schwer im Magen.

Es ist nicht immer lieb und nett, und möchte seinen Rahmen sprengen.

Es hasst vor allem ein Korsett und den Versuch, es einzuengen.

Vergeblich ist die Warterei.

Das weiß man ja im Allgemeinen.

Das Glück ist nämlich vogelfrei, denn unverhofft will es erscheinen.

Man freut sich, wenn man Glück erfährt.

Denn man erreicht Etappenziele.

Doch wenn es bei uns lange währt, das ist das Höchste der Gefühle.

chanismus.

Doch ist man gleich abhängig, nur weil man häufig auf sein Smartphone schaut? „Nein“, sagt Kai Müller, der als Psychologe in der Spielsucht-Ambulanz des Mainzer Uniklinikum arbeitet. „Es gibt bestimmte Risikofaktoren, die Menschen mitbringen.“ Manche nutzen das Smartphone etwa zur Ablenkung in Stresssituationen oder drücken sich damit vor unangenehmen Aufgaben. „Sorgen machen sollte man sich dann, wenn sich alles ums Handy dreht und man auch schöne Tätigkeiten unterbricht, um aufs Display zu gucken“, so Müller.

Die Beschäftigung mit dem Handy darf also nicht das Hobby beeinträchtigen oder soziale Kontakte ersetzen. Wer zwar stundenlang chattet, aber weiter in den Sportverein geht und die Schule schafft, habe eher kein Suchtproblem.

Anders als etwa Daddelautomaten oder Gaming-PCs kann man Smartphones überall mit hinnehmen. Es gibt also keine natürlichen Pausen mehr. Deshalb gilt: „Es ist wichtig, konkrete Auszeiten zu definieren“, rät Psy-

chologe Müller.

Denn auch wenn es keine Sucht ist: Übermäßige Nutzung birgt Nachteile. „Wenn ich alle 20 Minuten auf mein Handy sehe, leiden meine Produktivität und mein Glücksempfinden“, warnt Alexander Markowetz, der eine App namens Menthal entwickelt hat, die auf Handys das Nutzungsverhalten misst.

Die Auswertungen sind nicht repräsentativ, haben aber eine gewisse Aussagekraft, weil die App auf 300000 Smartphones läuft. Demnach sieht ein Nutzer im Schnitt 88 Mal täglich aufs Display, und in 53 Fällen folgt dann auch eine Aktion.

Folge: Die ständigen Unterbrechungen torpedieren die Konzentration, und die Arbeit fällt schwer. Anti-Yoga nennt Markowetz das: „Beim Yoga begibt man sich in eine orthopädisch wertvolle Position und fokussiert den Geist. Beim Smartphone-Surfen nehmen viele Menschen eine orthopädisch absurde Haltung ein und suchen die Zerstreuung.“ Psychologe Müller empfiehlt, OfflineTage einzulegen, an denen man die mobile Datennutzung ausschaltet. Und ins Bett oder an den Esstisch gehörten Handys sowieso nicht.

Wer die Probe aufs Exempel machen will, versucht am besten, einen ganzen Tag ohne das Gerät auszukommen, schlägt Kai Müller vor.

THANK YOU A very special thank you to the Swakopmund SPCA and the volunteers who walk the dogs to the dunes on Sundays. It is wonderful to see that you support conservation by keeping the dogs only on the dunes, away from all the bushes, and also picking up ALL the dog's faeces. Thank you for being an inspiration to all who want to walk with their dogs in the Dorob National Park.

God saw her getting tired, And a cure was not to be.

He wrapped her in his loving arms And whispered “Come with me.”

She suffered much in silence, Her spirit did not bend She faced her pain with courage, Until the very end.

She tried so hard to stay with us But her fight was not in vain, God took her to His loving home And freed her from the pain.

Stephanie Entin (Moller) * 25-11-1968 + 25-09-2017 We watched her suffer, day by day; It caused us bitter grief; To see her slowly pine away; And could not give relief.

Her weary hours and day of pain; Her troubled nights are past; And in our aching hearts we know; She has found sweet rest at last.

'Tis sweet to know we will meet again; Where parting is no more; only gone before God knows how much I miss her; He counts the tears I shed; and whispers, “Hush, she only sleeps; your wife is not dead.�

Some day, some time, my years shall see; Her face I loved so well.

Some day, some time, her hand I'll clasp; And never say farewell.

Nicky & Luka

Stephanie Entin (Moller) * 25-11-1968 + 25-09-2017 A light from our family is gone, A voice we love is stilled.

A place is vacant in the home which never can be filled We have to mourn the loss of one, We would've loved to keep, But God who surely loved her best, Has finally made her sleep, After a lifetime of her love and joy.

And music to fill our ears, God leaves these wondrous memories To help us through our tears.

We will love and miss you always Teh.

Until we meet again A light from our lives has gone A voice we loved is still.

A place is vacant within our hearts Which never can be filled.

A bouquet of beautiful memories Sprayed with a million tears.

We wish God could have spared you If just for a few more years We hold you close within our hearts To walk with us through out our lives.

Until we meet again We pray that God has given you The crown you've truly won.

RIP Stephanie George, Landa, Jordan, Nadezha and Leny

First Ever Currie Cup Game To Be Played In Swakopmund WINDHOEK DRAUGHTELWITSCHIAS VS BOLAND KAVALIERS Tomorrow Swakopmund will be the host of the first ever Currie Cup game to be played along the Namibian Coast at Central Sports Field in Vineta. Gates open at 09:00 with various school games to be played before the curtain raiser match between Swakopmund Barbarians and Walvis Bay Barbarians which kicks off at 12:15. At 15:00 we will see the Windhoek Draught Welwitschias lock horns with the Boland Cavaliers for an epic game of rugby.

To give a bit of background about this prestigious competition and how it came to be, the Currie Cup is one of the oldest rugby competitions in South Africa, with the first games played in 1889 but it was only in 1892 that it became officially known as the Currie Cup. The competition had its humble beginnings as an inter-province competition in 1884, but when the South African Rugby Boardwas founded in 1889 it decided to organise a national competition that would involve representative teams from all the major unions. The original participating unions were Western Province, Griqualand West, Transvaal and Eastern Province. The first tournament was held in Kimberley and was won by Western Province. For a prize they received a silver cup donated by the South African Rugby Board.

The story of how the Currie Cup came to be, comes from the first overseas rugby team to tour South Africa in 1891, The British Isles, who carried with them a particularly precious bit of cargo. Among the bags, boots and balls was a golden cup given to them by Sir Donald Currie, owner of Union-Castle Lines, the shipping company that transported them to the southern tip of Africa. Sir Donald was clear with his instructions – hand this trophy over to the team in South Africa that gives you the best game; and after a spirited display where the unbeaten British Lions narrowly won 3-0, Griqualand West became the first ever holders of the Currie Cup. They then handed the trophy over to the South African rugby board and it became the floating trophy for the Currie Cup competition.

Now, a lot has changed in this completion since 1891 and many teams has come and go. In 2015, it was announced that the Welwitschias would return to playing in the Currie Cup competition on an annual basis from 2016 onward. Before Namibia gained its independence in 1990, the team, as South West Africa, played in the Currie Cup. The team achieved their best result in the 1988 season, where they finished third.

Now after 126 successful years of this prestigious competition, a Currie Cup game will be played in Swakopmund on Saturday the 7th of October 2017 between the Windhoek Draught Welwitschias and Boland Cavaliers. An historic event indeed as this will be a very first for the competition and Swakopmund as a Town.

This historic match will however not have been made possible was it not for our team sponsors Windhoek Draught, FNB, Paratus Telecom and Pupkewitz Toyota as well as our venue sponsors Swakopmund Hotel & Entertainment Centre, Steckel's Toyota and Cars & Guides.

Then of course the hosts, Namibian Rugby Union and West Coast Sharks Rugby Club as well as all other parties involved which contributed to make Saturday a great day of rugby.

The game will be played that the Swakopmund Central Sports Field in Vineta. Gates open at 09:00 with various school games to be played before the curtain raiser match between Swakopmund Barbarians and Walvis Bay Barbarians which kicks off at 12:15. At 15:00 we will see the Windhoek Draught Welwitschias lock horns with the Boland Cavaliers for an epic game of rugby.

Desert Iron and Steel Golf Club Desert Storm hits Championships A really large field for two rounds on one day, well done to all players. At the end of the day, and a very long day it was, it was Gert Olivier who played the better golf on the day to pip the coastal champion Kevin Wentzel by a 4 shot margin to win the DESERT IRON AND STEEL trophy and be crowned as CLUB CHAMPION for 2017.

Well done Gert all the hard work has really paid off.

Best overall nett was won by club captain Herman Smidt on 140 while the best nett runner up was Gordon Damster on 141. 'A' division: best nett was won by Jason Barnard on 141 with Rocco Viljoen runner up on 142. Best gross was won by Lu-Andre Duvenhage on 155 while Morne Roux was runner up on 158. 'B' division: best nett was won by David Peake on 144 with Wouter van Wijk was second on 146. Best gross was won by Barend von Nieuwholtz on 169 with Willie van Zyl was second on 173. 'C' division: best nett was won by Emile Vilbert [snr] on 141 with Andre Barnard second on 145. Best gross was won by Heini Franken on 177 with Sergio Fig second on 174.

Wilma van der Merwe won the ladies section and is our ladies champ for 2017, mooi gespeel Wilma.

Estelle Bothma won the ladies best nett on 143. The junior champion for the year is Marthinus Marais with Millie Mls winning the best nett. At the prize giving Desmond Benson from DESERT IRON AND STEEL handed out the prizes. On the photos he is with Wilma and Gert. Well done to Herman and our starter, photographer, commentator and scorer Darryl for their efforts, but most of all thanks to Desmond and Dean for their continued sponsorship of our club championships.

Looking at the winners over the past few weeks I herewith put out a challenge - the committee will take on the club. I will sponsor the trophy and hereby appoint Wouter, Nardo and Wayne [as past ex committee members] as captains of the 'rest of the club'. I think the event should be staged as the official opening of the season and year on 13 January, but let's talk about it. UNLESS YOU ARE CHICKEN. Bring it on brothers [and sisters] we are ready to kick butt.

Darryl could be our non-playing captain, if not Darryl you will have to pull a hammy a week before the event.

Also attached are the TRAVEL MAGIC RACE TO CAPE TOWN standings. Only the top 20 players go through for October, and Andre made the cut on a technical count out, lowest handicap wins and poor old Gunter lost the count out. All scores revert to zero and at the end of this month only the top 10 will go through to the next round.

So that is it….subs were due and if you have not paid you are no longer a member and will now have to pay visitors fees, and as such are not eligible to win a prize. I will be sending the list of all ex members out

by Wednesday just so we don't have any confusion as to who has not paid. If you have any queries please contact me soonest The programme for the next few weeks is as follows so please do you planning accordingly Sat 7 October PISCS medal Sat 14th Manica and the Windhoek open Fri 20th CHAIN golf fundraiser

Sat 21st Blue bulls v WP Sat 28th Par three competitions Sat 4th November Rock group and the Omeya open Fri 10th Save the Rhino day at Rossmund Sat 11th Indongo Toyota Sat 18th PISCS medal Sat 25th Namib Mills Four of our players were away for the annual MUNICIPAL games in Witbank and a great comeback on the last day saw Andre, Alistair, Deville and Piet win the competition. Well done guys although not representing the club we are happy that our club is advertised where our member go. The draw was not won last week as Christo Muller was not at the club so it is up to 1 100.00 this weekend.

All members are please requested NOT TO mess with the music system. All out music has been lost and deleted, probably not intentionally but it is all gone. You all can imagine how devastated Morne is. But seriously guy, the music system is now off limits. We have spent a few bob on the upgrade of the music and video system and now Darryl has to redo the whole lot again – thanks Darryl.

This weekend Lu-Andre and Evette will be taking the plunge at about 16h00 on Saturday. His golf days will be numbered for a while so expect his handicap to move out by a few shots before the end of the year. Good luck to the both of you from all of us. Photos of his bachelor party are on the notice board and on our face book page.

Just on the book face thing our site is up and running and is well updated, just look for it at Walvis Bay golf club….whatever that might mean, thanks Darryl. Still on the mend is Oom Kallie and Jans, ai manne dis nou omtrent lank genoeg gesukkel, get well soon. Oh and before I forget there is sages this Sunday at 7h30 for 8h00.
